Currently in bpftool's feature probe, we incorrectly tell the user that
all of the helper functions are supported for program types where helper
probing fails or is explicitly unsupported[1]:
$ bpftool feature probe
...
eBPF helpers supported for program type tracing:
- bpf_map_lookup_elem
- bpf_map_update_elem
- bpf_map_delete_elem
...
- bpf_redirect_neigh
- bpf_check_mtu
- bpf_sys_bpf
- bpf_sys_close
This patch adjusts bpftool to relay to the user when helper support
can't be determined:
$ bpftool feature probe
...
eBPF helpers supported for program type lirc_mode2:
Program type not supported
eBPF helpers supported for program type tracing:
Could not determine which helpers are available
eBPF helpers supported for program type struct_opts:
Could not determine which helpers are available
eBPF helpers supported for program type ext:
Could not determine which helpers are available
Rather than imply that no helpers are available for the program type, we
let the user know that helper function probing failed entirely.
